I just pick my up, can’t wait to use it. Thank you for the video, now I can just get going with what am working on. It made it so simple that I can just get started. Keep up the great work.
I first saw this tool on a video from Australia. They called it a cordless file. Ryobi didn't offer it in the USA. Home Depot now offers it online and I recent obtained one. I've used it numerous times. Fantastic tool for detailed work. As of right now, no other tool company offers anything like this tool. Highly recommend the tool. While it may not be "professional" as they say, it sure as hell acts professional. I've recently used mine to restore some old and rusty hand held tools (hammers, axes, wrenches, etc.) and it saved me a lot of time grinding and sanding.
@@Sparky-if9sn I saw their sander. However, I paid roughly $100 for the Ryobi and the Makita is selling on Amazon for 450-520 range. Secondly, it took Makita a couple years to introduce this belt sander after Ryobi introduced theirs. What bothers me is why is Ryobi have a larger line of tools than all the others. All the others are very fine tools, but it always takes them forever to introduce “their version” and it always is high priced. I’ve owned most of them, Dewalt, Milwaukee, Makita, etc. but their always late to the party. Take care
I'm currently refurnishing an old dining set and the chairs have some real tight spaces that are hard to sand by hand or orbital sander. This thing looks perfect, and I found one on offer up for $70! Appreciate the demonstration my friend.
I've just finished repainting the exterior of my home. I noticed the 3-tiered layers of wood trim around all my windows are peeling and cracking from multiple layers of paint. This tool is EXACTLY what I was looking for, since the edges of the trim are exactly 1/2" wide and steps into the home wall where I can't reach. Wasps love to make their nests in these "crevices". I will grind everything down to bare wood, prime it, then paint it white and it will look brand new again. The light weight of this tool will come in handy when I'm up on the ladder all this time sanding things down. Thanks for this informative video!
Thank for the video. I just picked one up yesterday for $71 during HD's special buy of the day. I have been waiting for the price to drop, even if it is for one day. 😊
It's called a "power filer" in other markets such as Australia. I think it's more appropriate name and it also sends your brain to the right place of how you would use it. Hope that helps.
This was a great video, I have wanted a cordless power filer for a while now. But I will stick with the plug in models from HF until they come out with an m12 version with a flexible head.
I totally forgot to mention the flexible head in the video. We have the Ingersoll Rand version that does have the flexible head and it uses the smaller 1/4" belt. The flex head makes it much more usable and convenient, but it's much more expensive. Not sure if we'll see this from Milwaukee anytime soon. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Only issue I see with this tool is the contact wheel at the end isn't changeable.... so when that rubber on that wheel is gone that arm is done or the tool if they don't have replacement arms.
Am I the only one that noticed that was a Square Body door, 73-87(91)? The air tool is just better in the auto body world and mostly for those spot welds. This is good for the home project person, but the best one out there IMHO are the Eastwood belt sanders.
Eastwood does make a decent one, but I'd probably rank Dynabrade up near the top too. Yes, good eye. Squarebody door. We have several C10s in our fleet ('69,'73, '82).
$79? Home Depot price for me is 189 (tool only). I got this as part of a "promotional pack" and it's arriving tomorrow. When I heard the price in this video I thought perhaps I got a brushless one, but nope...Same one he's demoing and it's $189
I just picked this up yesterday for $71 new from HD. I missed out earlier in the year as some people picked this up in Jan. 2023 for around $60 at HD. And the outlet had them for $40 + shipping in Feb. 2023. Just just have to keep your eye out for the deals and be patient because $189 tool only "regular" price is too much. But hopefully your promo pack came with some batteries and a charger.
Yes, I've heard this before. When I think of power file, I think of the long rectangle air-powered sander for blocking out panels. Thanks for watching and commenting.
👁 built A mini sander half inch by 18 from Milwaukee cut off tool did the video with VCG Construction i’m curious if TTI. See my video and decided to do something with Ryobi 🤔🧐. Shortly after that they came out with their tool. 🤔🧐
Seems like a nice guy but boy is he wordy!!! For example he says he wants to grind a spot weld, then he goes on forever explaining what a spot weld is, he does that with everything. This 17 minute video could easily be done in 8 minutes.
It needs to be as thin as the pneumatic file Sanders and should be brushless to be as efficient and effective! This is GARBAGE like corner sander! & my multi tool jobplus they discontinued all the heads like ratchet and angle drill & all the heads are empty at all home depot stores
I agree, for the work that i like to do, I would like it to be the thinner 1/4" belts. However, most that are buying these will probably be using it on woodworking and household projects, so the larger belts will probably be fine. I don't think it needs to be brushless, because you can do a ton of work on one battery. Also, adding brushless would increase the price of the tool quite a bit. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@Shoptoolreviews I love the power of brushless it feels like air doesn't bog down. Plus I won't but a tool if it's NOT brushless , royob comes thrueon affordable brushless tools! & yeah an attachment for different sizes would be Awesome!
"You can be as finesse as you want to", and you're tearing the shit out of your demo blank. Get a pro to demo this tool. I think your channel and reviews are good, but YOUR demo at 8:11 is an absolute joke!

Ryobi tools have done so well they made my 60 gal air compressor almost useless.

Ryobi just releases new tool after new tool. Another great video!!! Good price too
Thanks for the kudos. I know, they just don't stop. I'm pretty sure they some even more on the way.

Did it work?
@@hmoreno1353 sure did! And the more aggressive grit sandpaper you use, the faster the job will go
Mine Just Came Today Havent
Used It Yet But I Can't Wait To
Try It.
Thank for the video. I just picked one up yesterday for $71 during HD's special buy of the day.

Man, glad I saw this comment. Right now it's marked "on sale" for $119 & the original MSRP is $189. 💀
awesome review thanks, off to the shop for an early birthday prezzie to myself

This is great for sharpening anything. Just got to pick up some fine grit diamond belts.. I missed out of this during ryobi days

Thank you for this. I needed to know how to use this
Glad to help. Thanks for watching.
Milwaukee need M12 version of this.. there's 4' grinder attachment of this sort.
While we would love to see this in an M12, I don't think we'll see this anytime soon from Big Red. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I get asked for these in Milwaukee every damn week. They need to launch one yesterday
You can buy a kit that converts the m12 cut off tool to one of these.
Only issue I see with this tool is the contact wheel at the end isn't changeable.... so when that rubber on that wheel is gone that arm is done or the tool if they don't have replacement arms.
I just got mine yesterday and love it!
I also would like to see an adjustable head unit but until then this will work for my needs.
Thanks for sharing! Thanks for watching.
In our shop, we call this tool a "Dina File"
But that is a brand name, I think.
Some people call a circularsaw a "skillsaw", agane brand name.
Correct, the Dyna File is from the DynaBrade brand name. And yes, the Skil Saw has stood the test of time for a circ saw. Thanks for watching.
We call it a finger sander in the UK 🇬🇧😉
Yep, we've heard that one. Great name for it. Thanks for watching.
A great tool
Thanks for watching and commenting.
this was selling for 59$ last month but its up to 189$ now, cause of the high price? milwaukee just made a m12 version
Can’t understand what would have made the price surge like that…
what the hell! I would have snatched one up at that price but $189? thats kray kray
Great review on a tool I'll likely never get.
Thanks for the kind words. Who knows, maybe someone will buy it for you as a gift. lol. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
Thanks like it…
Odd they still have not made a 115v corded version!?
Another Good General commonly used for such a tool is (POWER FILE)
Am I the only one that noticed that was a Square Body door, 73-87(91)?
The air tool is just better in the auto body world and mostly for those spot welds. This is good for the home project person, but the best one out there IMHO are the Eastwood belt sanders.
Eastwood does make a decent one, but I'd probably rank Dynabrade up near the top too. Yes, good eye. Squarebody door. We have several C10s in our fleet ('69,'73, '82).
79??? Its 189 for tool only at home depot! Whered he come up with 79 tag???
$79 is about where it should be all the time. They actually list this for $189 unless it’s RYOBI days and they’re having a sale. Which is bonkers
Could have sworn that it's called a finger sander.
Would this Ryobi mini belt sander be suitable for sharpening lawn mower blades? Thank you.
$79? Home Depot price for me is 189 (tool only). I got this as part of a "promotional pack" and it's arriving tomorrow. When I heard the price in this video I thought perhaps I got a brushless one, but nope...Same one he's demoing and it's $189
2 years can do a number to prices
Yup it’s a fn joke ryobi price hikes can suck it!
$79 to $190 that’s 150% price increase
But inflations 8% 😂😂😂😂

Only downside is the doesn't have 45° Angle adjustment
I like the term “Power File Sander”
Yes, I've heard this before. When I think of power file, I think of the long rectangle air-powered sander for blocking out panels. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Trim? No that's the tracking adjustment knob.
Power file or finger sander
Yep, you are correct. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I call them finger sanders
I call them power fingers
I WANT A MILWAUKEE ONE
Not yet. 😒 Not sure how long that will be. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I forget who it was but someone made one with one of the 3 in cut off tools and a hf air powered one
Edit: the channel is called the metal maverick
